Our Story • Historic Beginnings

Built in 1871 by Sir William Cunliffe Brooks, Cornerstones Manor Hotel is a Victorian villa filled with character and history. From soaring high ceilings and elegant bay windows to ornate cornices and thick stone walls, the property combines period charm with modern comfort. Every corner of this manor whispers stories of a bygone era, lovingly preserved and restored to offer guests a truly unique stay.

Step inside and admire the intricate detailing: pitch-pine bay windows, handcrafted cornicing, and fireplaces that once warmed Victorian gatherings. The 13-inch solid stone walls provide a sense of grandeur and tranquillity, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere despite being just minutes from Manchester's vibrant city centre.
